Hazelnut Soft Bread

written by

Hey guys. I hope you are having an amazing day. I have a sweet soft bread recipe to share with you today.

It looks like my desire for soft bread is still going strong. Last week, I used some hazelnut spread to make this sweet bread as my afternoon snack. When I said it’s sweet, it was actually not that sweet. I am watching my sugar intake. Anyway, all the sweet taste came from the organic honey I added in the filling. It’s just perfect with a cup of tea in the afternoon.

Apart from honey and hazelnut spread, I added some cream cheese as well to give it a rich texture. If you like it sweeter, you can add some brown sugar, rice malt syrup or just add more honey. I used a round baking tray to shape the bread into a flower and garnished with some almond slivers. Feel free to use almond flakes if you prefer.

The bread can be eaten cold or warm. I prefer to have something warm in a cold day.  It’s getting a bit chill here lately. I envy all of you out there who are enjoying a warm summer day. 🙂
